| HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA |
|
|
UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA Endowed by Congress 1819. Ordained by State Constitution 1819 and established by General Assembly 1820. Instruction begun 1831. Unofficial Training School Confederate Officers 1861 - 1865. Destroyed by Federal Army April 4, 1865. Rebuilding begun 1867 and reopened 1868. |

OLD QUADRANGLE The structures lining the Old Quadrangle, on the site of the main classroom destroyed in the Civil War, were built during the first wave of construction following the conflict. Twelve acres of the campus of the University of Alabama including eight buildings designated in The National Register of historic Places as The Gorgas - Manly Historic District. |
|

1861 - 1865 The University of Alabama gave to the Confederacy 7 General Officers, 25 Colonels, 14 Lieutenant-Colonels, 21 Majors, 125 Captains, 273 Staff and other Commissioned Officers, 66 Non-Commissioned Officers and 294 Private Soldiers. Recognizing obedience to state they loyally and uncomplainingly met the call of duty in numberless instances sealing their devotion by their life blood. And on April 3, 1865 the Cadet Corps composed wholly of boys went bravely fourth to repel a veteran Federal invading foe of many times their numbers in a vain effort to save their Alma Mater, its buildings, Library and Laboratories from destruction by fire which it met at the hands of the enemy on the day following. To commemorate this heroic record, this memorial stone is erected by the Alabama United Daughters of the Confederacy. University of Alabama. May 13, 1914. |
